The Islamic Society of North America and Georgetown University’s Prince Alwaleed Bin Talal Center for Muslim-Christian Understanding are pleased to present a Symposium on Religious Freedom and the Rights of Minorities in Islam. \u00a0American scholars and academics of Islam will discuss the historical legacy of religious minorities in Muslim-majority societies, and how concepts of pluralism and minority rights can be examined in a contemporary context, particularly following the dramatic developments of the Arab Spring. \u00a0The Islamic Society of North America and Muslim leaders worldwide are currently working to promote a mechanism for developing Islamic standards and protocols on religious freedom and the role of religious minorities in the Muslim world. \u00a0This symposium will provide an opportunity for academics, government officials, diplomats, and other experts based in Washington, DC to engage in these discussions.<\/span> <\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
